I think I found a rough barometer to measure how upbeat or relaxed a major city is.Look at the speed of the information scrolling or changing on next stop displays in your modern subway or other transit vehicle. Changing quickly like #NYC is an upbeat city while slow scrolling like #Vancouver is a relaxed city.Where does your city fit in? #transit #trains #city #Boston #Seattle @citylife

Not gonna say where I am for obvious reasons, but it's relaxed enough on the busses where I live. The information changes not quickly, but not super slow either. Kinda middle of the road.
